How to moisturise dry hair

Bleach-blonde beachy hair looks great but the same peroxide that gives you that surfer hair-vibe can sap moisture, leaving it bristly and bushy instead of bouncy and beautiful. And while blow-drying and straightening seems like the ideal solution to tame your mane, it only makes things worse. It’s a vicious circle! Alas, there are a few hair hydration hacks that’ll help those strands stay top of the hair game. Dry hair remedy? We’ve got you covered!

HOW TO MOISTURISE DRY HAIR

Dry hair not only looks damaged and less than gorgeous, it actually feels coarse and crispy to the touch. Ouch! While we love the feeling of that hot summer sun on our body (though always protected of course) our hair can’t show us when it’s too much of a good thing. And let’s be honest, you’ll probably pay for those extra minutes on the beach with frazzled, frizzy strands that are begging for moisture! Not catching any rays? Yeah, we’re afraid you’re not getting away that lightly, even the heat from radiators in the office, the air con in planes and most importantly the direct heat coming from your bi-weekly blow dry are the biggest culprits in creating that tangle you call hair right now. These dry hair causes are the things that lead you to search for dry hair treatments.

So, what to do for dry hair? First off, step away from the heated tools, for a moment at least while you make some reparations to your poor dry hair’s weakened locks. Whether that’s making minor changes to your styling routine, letting your hair dry once in a while or washing less often to avoid the blow dry, try switching up your regime to prioritise hair health. And, when you do use them, always use a heat protective product like Aussie SOS Heat Saviour Conditioning Spray. Enriched with antioxidant-rich Tasmanian Pepperberry, it gives hair hydration and acts as the ultimate heat shield. Powered by a multitude of conditioning ingredients, the primer forms a defensive barrier against the damage caused by hair straighteners, curlers and blow drys in order to prevent dry hair and breakage. The misty spray softens strands and replenishes moisture to help tame frizz for a healthy, smooth and sleek finish.

DRY HAIR REMEDY FOR EXTREMELY DRY HAIR

How to moisturise dry hair is a constant quest as it’s inherently thirsty, often coarse, and difficult to manage. And when things get really bad, extremely dry hair just won’t hold a style at all. The reason? As the hair length gets weakened and damaged through daily wear and tear the cuticle itself begins to open up, becoming straw-like and losing its suppleness and flexibility.

WHAT TO DO FOR DRY HAIR: USE A WIDE-TOOTHED COMB

Any hair is at its most vulnerable when it’s wet. And the potential for damage really accelerates if your wet hair is fine, curly or fragile. So, handle with care. Hair is more pliable when damp, but stretching still occurs which makes it vulnerable to break. So, always brush with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers, from the tips upward to avoid further damage to your delicate tresses.
